Detroit transit to cut early morning bus service

DETROIT — As part of a plan to cut approximately $11 million in costs, the city of Detroit is ending its early morning bus service, CBS Detroit reported.

According to the city, only 15 customers per hour utilize Detroit Department of Transportation (DDOT) bus service between 1 a.m and 4 a.m., representing .5% of DDOT’s daily riders and 6% of DDOT’s daily costs. For the full story, click here.

Tier One modernizes 300 stops along two of GRTC’s busiest routes with each stop receiving upgrades that include new flags with clearly visible route and bus stop numbers as well as eye-level, easy-to-use printed schedule and map information.

The 8.3-mile route, with a proposed 27 stops, would replace the Capital Area Transportation Authority’s current Route 1 from downtown Lansing to the Meridian Mall. Results from the plan’s environmental assessment study are expected to be shared at a public hearing this fall.
